The long awaited Tom chapter you've been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen.
A happy chapter is gonna come, don't worry. Btw, I might've gone far-fetched with Matt's biological parents but oh wael.
This 3200+ word chapter is my gift to all of the people who have been putting this book into their reading lists, those who have been voting for this book, and especially for the ones who comments! I really appreciate it although I don't reply to comments, I make sure to read them all. Sorry (not sorry) for making some of you cry last chapter XD. Even for the silent readers, you guys are the ones who made this book hit 1.8K. You guys are truly amazing, and now you're gonna make me cry ;w;
Onto the chapter before I cry a river T0T.

You couldn't stand it anymore.
The sound of your palms hitting and shaking the table surprised even (C/N) and Ringo.
The table was filled with silence once again, everyone's eyes were on you.
Tears were also falling from your eyes.

"(Y/N)...?"

Matt's voice was so quiet but you were able to hear it.

It hurt you so much, having him to endure this pain everyday.
Here, you couldn't even stand their teasing for at least 10 minutes.

How did he manage to stand it all his life?
To pretend like he wasn't bothered?
To pretend like he wasn't hurting?

To pretend like he was actually being...himself?

You sniffled, wiping your tears away before grabbing Matt by the hand and rushing to his room.

You slam the door and let your grip around Matt's hand go.
You were both crying.

"Tell them already!" You yelled, your voice mixed with frustration and sadness.

He could only look at you with sad eyes.

"I know it's not my place to say anything, I know it's a family matter and I'm only the 'childhood friend' but please! Doing this...doing any of this, only hurts you! Remember what I said? That I was sorry for calling you those names? And that I would've stopped if I known? I'm sure they would stop to, if you could just open up to them! Please, Matt. I want you to stop hurting...anything for you stop hurting!" You pleaded, looking down. Only meeting with his eyes would make you feel hurt than you already were.

Matt stood still, tears were still going down his face.
His hands closed into a fist, biting his lip. He was trying so hard not to let anymore tears fall.

"(Y/N)...you...you don't understand." He says, you look up at him.
He he took a breath, "I didn't tell you everything."

"What...was that?" Ell was the first to speak among the four. (C/N) and Ringo have been scratching Matt's door for a minute now.
The 4 heard yells and crying in Matt's room.
"Should we...?" Tord asks slowly, leaning in on the door of Matt's room.

Edd protested, "What?! Are you crazy?! Eavesdropping is disrespectful!"

But Tord and Ell already had their ears pressed against the door.

"...I'm sure they would stop too! If you could just open up to them! Please, Matt. I want you to stop hurting...anything for you to stop hurting!"
They hear your voice. Full of pain and sorrow.

Tord and Ell's eyes widen. "Guys...I think...you should hear this..." Tord says.

Edd still shakes his head in disapproval, but Tom slowly leans his ear in.

"(Y/N)...you...you don't understand." They hear Matt's voice now, he was also crying.
"I didn't tell you everything."

"What the..." Tom mutters. The 3 lean in more closer now, curious on what Matt has to say.
